Perkalaba. Live In Moscow. /digi-pack/.

The disc is unique, at least, because it is the only live album by Perkalaba (the other one, "Underopera", turned into a rarity almost immediately, and now even the musicians themselves do not have it). "Live in Moscow" can be seen as an interesting document of growth – because the recording was made ​​several years ago, and now Perkalaba has somewhat changed. Or you can – dive.. Though, you won't be able to dive, will just have no time. If the beginning sounds rather contemplative, then the signature sound and athletic frenzy dash in, and then you can forget about water exercises – here you need to just manage to breathe in and have the time to exhale.. no way, even with the more or less slow compositions you have little chance, Perkalaba fully sieges you, from toes to ears tufts, and no intermediate stages for you to relax. A little bit louder and – goodbye!

This disc is an exclusive thing, and you will not find it in shops. And even with us you cannot buy it. But you can get it as a present, and it is – the only opportunity to become an owner of the unique release!The terms are simple – read here: http://umka.com/eng/news/Note: on the website the disc cannot be ordered separately. We have it in stock, and you can make it – but you'd better hurry up, because the number of the free discs is very limited!

..a whole bunch of musicians joined that, including Rock-H, Motor'rolla, Pan Pupets, Sashko Polozhynsky – and in this way a complete cover album of songs from the repertoire of 1992-2015 was formed. It turned out interesting – because the versions often sound quite unexpectedly, and because Pavlik personally contributed into the recording, so all together it is also an album of duets.

Like-minded friends – very different, sometimes diametrically. But all together it is wonderful – it impresses with its integrity, some unconscious common code. Do you want to learn something non-obvious about Perkalaba? Here's a look from behind the mirror. Two hours of Joy and Happiness for the Orchestra and all those who are com-passionate..

In 2014, Okean Elzy is massively celebrating its 20th anniversary – to be honest, it is even hard to believe that this music has been with us for so long. On the other hand – it still seems sometimes that it has always been with u... Anyway, it is absolutely logical that on this occasion the band has released a collection of the best..

Since the share of lyrical songs in the bulk of works by "Skryabin" is gradually but steadily increasing – the attempt to create a sort of a collection of such lyrical songs seems justified. And the collection has worked out well – the disc is just up to its physical rims filled with nice melodies and good lyrics of varying degrees of depth.

In the end of 2011, the group "S.K.A.I." loudly celebrated the 10th anniversary of its existence with a big concert in Kyiv – and with releasing, in fact, the anniversary collection, which you see now. The collection includes the best songs from all the three numbered albums released by the group during this time.

Well, here is finally the long-expected album by the new "Boombox" – new in the aspect of sounding. The trick is that this is material recorded in a rock manner. For this reason the work has the name "All Inclusive" – because everything is done here with the help of "live" instruments, and in particular – at participation of a real rhythm section.

The group that has absolutely deserved the glory of strange cranks. The group that is able to perform sad and philosophical songs with such cheerful light that you do not notice the sadness, and you absorb the philosophy not separately but together with joyful waves – because it does not hit between your eyes, it just naturally exists in this space.

We can say only one thing for sure – look at the list of groups – so diversified musicians sound on the disk that no music preference will, most probably, remain unsatisfied. Provided, certainly, that the tastes revolve somewhere around rock music.

...he is able to write real songs, that is not empty ones – it is not surprising that so many people have taken part in the given project. Thus, twenty talented, famous and not so much performers, twenty songs by "Srjabin" of different years. Twenty meetings with the clever and even rather elegant, but still punk.

At some party where Kuzma was the anchor, the guys from the band helped him to fill in a pause by improvising a samba based on the theme of "Sleep Alone" – and it appeared good. So good that it resulted in real cooperation – and here you see a full-value album of cover versions for Skryabin's song created by musicians of Smack Band.

Unlike condensed milk, this disc does not contain any surpluses of sugar. Rather, vice versa – the guys from Bram Stocker have once again demonstrated clearly who they are. First, they were named a punk-group, though merry. Now, emphasis has shifted a bit, therefore now Bram Stocker is considered though merry, but a punk-group.

It is good that their music obtains more and more popularity, at the same time not becoming too "trimmed". If a rock-group in Ukraine matures to the point of releasing a collection of the best, this testifies not only to its worthy experience, but also to its being in demand – which cannot but be inspiring. It is good that when compiling this collection, Motor'rolla included here simply their favorite songs as well, regardless of their popularity.

The group so obviously grows above itself with every new album, that this stop in-between seems very deserved and appropriate. It is already possible to afford comparing and somehow re-evaluating some achievements, drawing certain conclusions – the collection of all clips in this sense is also very demonstrative.

...cocktails by Gogol Bordello become more transparent. Not so much quiet, rather – more considered, balanced internally. It seems to be a carnival of weird masks, behind which the simple idea lurks: no one makes you agree to everyday mediocrity. You can do it – otherwise.

This is music with its own identity. And it's not only about interesting arrangements – listen to the lyrics: this is not simulation of rural folklore, this is its urban rethinking, but not limited to the city. Somewhere there, a universal key to the roots reside...

The new album includes more stuff. Dirty guitars and rough rhythms – decorated with shiny ribbons of the cosmo-disco. Poems by Zhadan – an uncompromising weapon to kill worms in the brain, and at the same time – a clear enough ideology for anyone who does not agree to live as suggested by the contemporary System.

..it seems that in the sense of music Perkalaba has returned to the wave it started from – but in fact this is essentially different music played with more or less the same instruments. Such a trick – so I advise you to listen very carefully. Maybe – you will visit the Mystical Theater of Shadows on Perforated Cardboard...

Any music, if there is place for ethnic motives, moods in it – changes forever, and changes the listener. For the best. Because such music acquires new dimensions of depth, it is connected with the important and irreplaceable space – in which the root of culture and worldview of that or another people lives.

This album as if involves time into reverse movement. It represents qualitative Ukrainian alternative rock-and-roll – such as it would be 20 years ago if ideology, finance, quality of equipment, etc. allowed that. It reminds all ideas and feeling that were important – and lets the past free, says goodbye to it.

The album "Abo Abo" is a concert record made in France at the "Eurockeens de Belfort" festival as long ago as in June, 1991. But not only. This is also the first compact disc of the group – previous records were published on cassettes. In addition, it was released abroad – a rare bird for those times, we should say.

...Consequently, we have in one pot epatage, sarcasm, philosophy, lyric poetry, ska, reggae, punk, folk singing and just drive – both in words and in music. And if you prefer not too trimmed art – this is the album that should not miss your attention.

Yurcash really was not going to disappoint all those whom he managed to surprise so positively. The second album is also a sort of a "hodgepodge" of different, almost incompatible styles and moods, from hardcore to acid chanson. Though, there are now fewer "heavy" music remarks – however, it does not seem to be a severe loss. And the banter in the texts – has become more varied, diversified.

...the first album is a convincing evidence of the fact that this group is capable of making experiments deeply and finely through mixing ethno, acid, trance, rock and fly-agaric and at the same time remembering the taste. Still, even the vocal singing deserves your attention, to say nothing about the rest of music...

The group "VV" has recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their creative life – and have released a new album. The age is respectable not only for a group – even for a person it is already quite a lot. One can – and should – sum up some results and draw conclusions. Actually, the album "There Were the Days" has become this kind of summarizing.

The overwhelming majority of songs are Ukrainian folk songs known to everybody. But you may never have heard them being performed in such a manner so far. If we mix this cuisine up on hard and forceful guitar reefs, as well as on violent drums, we will get a cocktail that blows up right before our eyes.
